Very good topic and I agree with all above. First thing you might want to consider is to revise a bit of the ops and effects of controls lesson. Funny how over time students forget the little things like an increase of airspeed will increase lift, that little dot does'nt have to move very far, so that nice descent they set up almost becomes straight and level again, . Trimming can get left behind in the heat battle as well.
Know what Attitude is required for each phase of flight. Be it climbing, descending, turning and even S & L at various airspeeds and airframe configurations both normal and assymetric.
And they must realize that the AH is both Pitch attitude and Bank attitude.
For example a rate 1 level turn at 140kts in the aeroplane I teach in is about 20 AOB and Pitch Attitude is about half the dot above the horizion line.
And above all, patience.
Just my two bobs worth. Have fun with it and keep seeking advice from the old hands and keeping learning yourself.
